How to Decide What to Blog About

What do I Blog About?

This is the very first question all intending bloggers should ask themselves before even deciding what their blogging or website address will be.

Choosing
what to blog about can in most cases is a pain for most people but it can also
be easy. This article will go a long way in making that choice easier.

What do I blog about?

A
blog is a suitable choice for expressing your choice for a hubby, information
sharing, documenting your life, advertising products and services, etc.

The
key to choosing a topic to blog about I can say is choosing what you have
passion for and love doing. If you have passion for something, don’t be afraid
to start blogging about it even if you don’t have all the information about the
topic at that time. You will get better with time.

Deciding
what to blog about (Blog topic or niche)

If
you want to blog for yourself without adding an existing or new business to the
blog, pick a topic of your choice! If you are starting the blog for a business
or organization, your blog should be related to the product(s) or service(s)
you provide, or the cause you promote.

1.Pick
a topic you have passion for. As mentioned in
the introduction, picking a topic you have passion for is the primary key to
having a good blog. The readers of your blog will know if you don’t like the
topic you are blogging about and that could cost you subscribers and traffic
loss. No passion for a blog leads to scrappy blog posts.

2.Pick
a topic you can never be bored talking about. Picking a
topic you can talk about for a long time is another key element in blogging.
This is because a blog requires regular update and new posts to make visitors
want to come back to your blog. You will run out of ideas on new posts very
quickly if you do not choose a topic that is right for you.

3.Think
about your readers: When someone starts searching for
something on the internet, they either want to learn something new, be
entertained, solve a problem, relieve some kind of fear etc. (You
know where I am going right?....). If they come across your blog
and cannot get satisfaction or a solution for their problem(s), I bet they
won’t want to come back to your blog rather; they’ll look for a solution
elsewhere.

4.Find
a hole in the market: Before starting a blog, even if you
don’t tell anyone, it is likely that you plan on making
money from it. Though some bloggers do it for pleasure and other
reasons, majority of bloggers expect income from their blogs either to
supplement their current income or to use it as a primary source of their
income. If there are many blogs out there that are in the same category as the
blog you want to start, you can do a research on the existing blogs and find
what they are missing so you can include it in yours. Some of these things
include but not limited to.

5. Do
not limit yourself to a particular niche: when choosing a blogging
category or niche, always remember that you should choose a niche that is a bit
broad so you will not feel like you are burning out after a few posts. A wider
niche choice can help keep you in relevant for a long time.

Always
remember that the goal for any blog is to become the go-to resource
for its topic or niche. With that in mind, choose a topic that you can be
able to deliver quality posts anytime.
